Breaking Up Is Hard To Do - Neil Sedaka

[magoesjuris]

wonderful voice and beutiful voice

[joanneWashingtonCros]

Best make out song ever.

[cruiseguyhawaii]

Wow, I so totally love this version. I think I still have an old 45 of this around somewhere! :-)

[evelyngrif59]

Perfecto!!

[musicwritersince1980]

One of the best and most important songs of its era. So perfect in every way it is impossible to find all the great adjectives to describe it. Brilliant.

[KenFromScottsdale]

Yummy!, Yummy!, Yummy!!!!!!!

This is one of the most, sexiest songs to dance to!!!

I can only envision dancing to this song, "just once" with the woman that I fell in love with so many years ago!!!

She is a vision of loveliness!!!

Patti... I hope that you get a chance to read this someday!!!

Me Too!

Ken

Seen Neil twice at the City Hall in Sheffield. Such a talented man and this song is indescribably wonderful.

[themadaboutmusic]

Though I was indifferent with the up beat original version, but I fell in love with this 'slow' version since the very first time I heard it played on the radio. Still love it.

[johnmcgrath6827a]

amazing how the two versions are so different, the fast one is a bopbop upbeat,

this one has so much emotion in it, lovely version

[musicwritersince1980]

Without question, one of the greatest pop melodies ever. Timeless lyrics. Brilliance that lives on. Paul McCartney said he loved this song.

[450984]

a sentimental favorite of mine! many thanks for posting this!

[coomason5]

I'm back. Is this on video or dvd?

[coomason5]

Beautiful. Nuf said.

[PauliusBa]

Wow! His voice is so beautiful and so well balanced!

[lisasboogies]

ahhhhh....thank you. nice! i have my dad's album all this time.



[louise1marais]

I would have liked to download just the slower version of this song hence my request for editing same - of course for those who like both versions this copy would still be around smarty pants

[louise1marais]

I would have liked to download just the slower version of this song hence my request for editing same

[elm495f3]

 Love this song, but hate the sweater! LOL!

[TheSilkyman]

One of the best songs ever

[louise1marais]

please edit this to just the slower version - I do not like the fast version in the beginning it ruins the mood of the song

[jc333jc]

@louise1marais Yeah! Edit it for God's sake..

Louise doesn't like the fast part. As if Neil Sedaka would have any idea what he was doing. I wish the world revolved round me too....LOL

[recovering16]

I loved the one in the early 60's (fast version), but this one was just perfect for the 70's - when I had gone through some "real" breakups - and really felt this song.

[jd7779311]

Man!! I love the slow version of this song!!!

[Entertainmentwriter]

Truly one of the most perfectly written and composed pop songs of all time. Such simple lyrics that tell such a compelling tale. Beautiful and miraculous.

[P1683]

I do believe that this song was made by an faboulous artist it should be nominated in the hall of fame

[DRpokeme]

i remembered the original version.. but when i heard this slower more blue version i fell again for this man ...

[FootyAddictVideo]

WOW what a great version of the song!

[TouchSomeone]

Thank you so much for posting this version of one of my all time favorite love songs, luckysmusic. This is how this song should be sung, for breaking up a relationship hurts like hell. To watch the other versions with Neil smiling and singing it so zippy like, simply negates the beautiful, emotional and heart-felt lyrics. This version really does go straight to the heart!

[qbanmanny3]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

[qbanmanny3]

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. It's very simple and goes straight to the heart.

[funseller1956]

This slow version is sooooo silky smoooooth. Great song, great talent.

[clefoodexaminer]

Great!  Saw Neil at Chautauqua this simmer (2010) - in a word: DEVINE!!!

[ReLoadMeBoy]

Beautiful but sad..........ya

[ReLoadMeBoy]

Boy!!,how true is that. But you know they say,"All bad things turns good at the end".So their is a happy ending to most love's stories. This song is great ,sad but great....Thanks

[ZapMeBaby]

Neil Sedaka you the man. I seen you in concert some year's back and it's still a

heart breaking song. How true can that be? For all those who had their heart broken. look on the sunnyside, you get to do it again. But this time with caution.

Try love and not lust. Better results. Thanks ,oh' i did sign that petition. good luck

[ReLoadMeBoy]

@ZapMeBaby

[munificent7]

What a voice!

[upquist1]

The original version was fun to hear but the slow version is simply breathtaking. Same song, same lyrics but in the slow version, Sedaka brings out of the song so much I didn't even notice in the original. I really do agree with Cathersmith1 - slow is the best way to listen to this beautiful, beautiful song incomparably performed by a great artist.

[Thebirdienumnum]

Great talent -songwriter and musician.

Love the jazz piano.

Thanks for sharing.

[JackStarkey57]

This song is fantastic, a genius Mr. Sedaka write this gem this all time classic

Wonderful and beautiful....there are no words to describe this song!!!!

[EddieVanhangover]

neil is very mccartney/ beatlesque

[catchersmitt0]

I remember when this slow version came out in the 70s... it was a fun fast song once, but slow is the way it is meant to be sung.

[vravon]

I'm seeing him live in February. I hope he does this version! Great arrangement! Great Song!

Vince Ravon!

[tonyrob1945]

I like this slow version as it has more feeling to it

[Kalyancolon]

Neil sedaka was classically trained at the Julliard School of Music and is a gifted composer which always come through with a beautiful melody. This slow version of Breaking Up is Hard To Do is beyond description. The feeling it projects touch the hearts of all those who have had to break up with a loved one. It has a "blueish" feeling by using the blues scales here and there adding to the sense of melancholy that the lyrics intend. Just a wonderful use of the musical language.

[anjumchaudhri]

Went to see him at the Royal Albert Hall 30th June with my teenage daughter, his music has endured for many decades, a true musical genius and he has kept his dignity throughout, unlike many of todays so called 'stars' -

[fruglescot]

Goodbye Farrah and Mj we're Breaking up and although it's so very hard to do my love for you will always endure..

[Hejr58]

Oh Geez!Marvelous!!

This version is so beauty and makes me remember my teens's years.

Thanks for posting..

[Entertainmentwriter]

One of the top 10 pop songs ever written. I read that it was one of Paul McCartney's favorites. That is one hell of a compliment!!!

[redwalls76]

I love this version and I still have my 45 record and it is in good conditions.

[palerider64]

I can still see my parents dancing to this song after they made up from a fight.

[Tuneweaver2007]

Neil Sedaka is a musical genius.

Fans have a petition on the internet, to get him inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

Search on YouTube by 'SEDAKA PETITION' and you'll find the link.
